So he wished to raise the temple? A logical move, as the temple could still contain a clue about the pieces of the X-blade. It was also risky, dangerously so. Arthal said it himself, failure to raise the temple would activate its defense mechanisms and they'd be in trouble. But even if they succeeded, such power concentrated into one location couldn't possibly go unnoticed. It could very well be felt in other worlds surrounding the Keyblade Graveyard, and thus attract unwanted attention. Still, for what seemed like a lose-lose scenario, there was still a thousand-in-one chance of it working. For that, well, they would just have to take the risk.

"This plan of yours... I attempted it myself some time ago." Cyrus told Arthal, in a hushed tone so only the elf would hear him, "I'm sure you can guess how that worked out." with that, the Keyholes began to appear. Carrying two blades, Cyrus was able to open two of them at once, and did so from afar when thin beams of light shot from the tips of his Keyblades and into the Keyholes. Cyrus gave one more look to his would-be leader, "I hope you know what you're doing."
